Keyan Summerlee, Freya Dowding, Gianina Camero, Indie Wolfe, Angus Wolfe and Santino Camero are the youngsters opening the refurbished playground at Gisborne Hospital's Whetu Ao Rawhiti Planet Sunshine.

Giving them a helping hand is registered nurse and paediatric quality and education coordinator Sue Cranston.

Ms Cranston, who led the upgrade, said the new playground was the culmination of 12 years of hard work.

Over 100 students from the city's secondary schools donated art works which on display in the playground and on the ward.
